Abstract
Beneath the umbrella of Transdimensional Pedagogy, the Kuruwi Project, in the course of its experience, has designed a space in which the materialization of children’s thinking processes, creativity, contribution and innovation is given a place. This space is called the Museum of Children’s Thinking, and here is where, through objects, texts and images, it is possible to see the relationships which are generated by the encounter of the multiple dimensions of human beings.
In these procedures in which children, teachers, visual artists and educators intervene, the thought processes are enriched and become more powerful, developing into complex constructions and contributions, justifiable and surprising. They turn into possible responses to our world, possibilities for its transformation and co-construction, always in search of goodness, beauty and wisdom.
Each of these procedures is called an “ensamble” and each “ensamble” results in a theory, an object, an artifact or an example of the fine arts, which is offered to the community for its enrichment and embellishment. The ensambles, in which the children have been authors and co-creators, are exhibited in their entirety in The Museum of Children’s Thinking, each one being given a specific place, in response to the necessity to contribute with others and demonstrate the importance of creation within the framework on transdimensionality.
